Two hit men, a boxer on the run, a crime boss and his wife cross paths in Los Angeles over a few strange days. The film is a loose, talky, darkly funny crime story told in intertwined chapters rather than a straight line.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of 1990s American independent cinema and postmodern pop filmmaking, it reset expectations for crime movies, screenwriting and the place of cinephile references in mainstream work.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a film about talk: let the conversations, not the plot mechanics, tell you who these people are.
